What is the bandwidth of human speech?
In general, the fundamental frequency of the complex speech tone – also known as the pitch or f0 – lies in the range of 100-120 Hz for men, but variations outside this range can occur. The f0 for women is found approximately one octave higher. For children, f0 is around 300 Hz.
What is the bandwidth required for speech signals?
The bandwidth of a speech signal is from 50 Hz through to 10 kHz and that of a music signal is from 15Hz through to 20Khz. You want to digitize these signals using the Nyquist criterion.
What are signals in speech?
Speech signals are sound signals, defined as pressure variations travelling through the air. These variations in pressure can be described as waves and correspondingly they are often called sound waves. In the current context, we are primarily interested in analysis and processing of such waveforms in digital systems.
What is a speech waveform?
Waveforms are also known as time domain representations of sound as they are representations of changes in intensity over time. The intensity dimension actually displays sound pressure. Sound pressure is a measure of the tiny variations in air pressure that we are able to perceive as sound.
